Description Daniel Herding CLA 2018-06-01 08:31:43 EDT 
When the AUT contains a Window Builder editor, interaction is not recorded due to bug 535448. But even if that bug were fixed, I assume it would only record canvas interaction on a coordinate basis, which means that the tests wouldn't be reliable or maintainable.

It is desirable to record interaction with ECL commands like get-edit-part.
However, Eclipse Window Builder doesn't use standard GEF, but a custom lightweight version of GEF, as described here:
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/488412/

Would it be possible to map get-edit-part etc. to the Window Builder variant of GEF?
